Friend Cam Set 1/ 2/3

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use the Friend Set 1/2/3 on everything from granite corners to sandstone splitters. These sizes are the backbone of most racks, and the smooth action plus the extendable sling make a real difference when pitches wander. They’re solid, dependable cams that feel trustworthy the moment they’re placed."

When we’re packing for wide corner systems and mid-to-large crack routes, the Wild Country Friend Set 1/2/3 gives us the dependable protection we count on. These cams continue the legacy of the original Friend—maintaining that iconic 13.75° cam angle—while incorporating thoughtful updates that improve handling, stability, and overall confidence on route.

As cracks flare or shift in dimension, the dual-axle design expands usable range, letting us adjust quickly in awkward stances. The polished lobes bite securely on everything from coarse granite to smooth, varnished sandstone, and the hollow axles help reduce weight for long alpine linkups. Extendable Dyneema slings streamline the system by reducing drag and minimizing the need for extra quickdraws on winding pitches.
